i used gingerdx yesterday but it was very lag...so i heard i need to use cwm to properly install gingerdx (cause mine is v20+) so i search for rom manager (i thinks it's same as CWM ) apk's files ...i downloaded is and tried to search for my device but failed to , so i googled it and it says i need
''-1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash Custom Kernel (sin file included inside the zip file, or ready made file here )
3. Install ROM using CWM provided with the kernel (after flash, switch on and keep puhsing back button until phone enter CWM Recovery mode. You cannot use xRecovery anymore... ''
i don't understand anything about what he said ...i googled the bootloader guide (from xda ) but it's so complex i dun even understand ...but then it says i need to do something called flash got this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashrom ... don't undestand!! okay okay no more complaining to sum it all up
1.how to use cwm on xperia x8? i cant find my model on the chart
2. is there a more simple way to bootload my phone?
3.what does bootload do?
4.what and how to flashrom your x8?
5.what is linuxDX for? i heard it speeds up your phone ...
6.how does cwm works? is it similar to xrecovery?
i tried to install gingerdx2.0 with xrecovery but it destroyed many of my apps and it's not smooth at all ... sorry for making so many threads...i really am curious of my phone and wanting to know all these rom , root stuffs ...
I tot I already tell solution for your problem b4..
U simply install gingerCruz or whatever rom (which one can install via Xrecovery)
(I sure this rom have dual recovery(CWM & Xrecovery) pre install)
now when u sucess installing GC,
u can boot into CWM by pressing volume down button and/or tap screen
and now the time u can install gingerDX.zip
and make sure fullwipe after and b4 installing GDX.zip
let forget about LinuxDX or whatever kernel first...
(because u failed to fix simple matter (installing GDX))
so if u wanna flashing kernel, it most dificult than installing rom
so my advice is please pass this matter first
REMEMBER...flasing kernel U have to unlock bootloader
(your phone can brick if U done any wrong)
ohoh i think i get you there ...u use a rom that can be installed via xrecovery and the rom naturally has CMW preinstalled yes ? and when i done installing( do i need to full wipe for this? ) the rom that can be installed via xrecovery press the close button long then the CWM will come up ( i tried b4 via cruzt ) then i enter CWM i use it like xrecovery , from there i install GDX and before installing GDX i have to full wipe my phone ...am i right??will full wipe clear my app? and what's GC?
is rom = mod?
and yeah i think imma skip kernel 1st too risky!
THANKS KLIP!

is it normal for the phone to get crazy lag for the 1st day of installing your mod? the dx mod crashed ( crashed seriously ) and i got the option to force close ...i gave me a facepalm and i just rebooted and tried cruzt ...and cruzt is lagging now ...

rarely happens to me.
u can try:
-full wipe
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
before and after changing ROMs
i always do that and no problems till now..
will wiping dalvik and cache clear all your link2sd app?

Hey Guys
Am kind of lost At the Gdx instruction thingies
Okay i know how 2 install it
..
So
i have the 2.1 ..
With all the required Stuff
the baseband number...etc
So is it now like always?
P.S: My bootloader is unlocked ..
So again is it like always
install ZIP From either Xrec.. Or CWM??
And about the recommendation 2 install The Linux
is it Safe???????
Completely Safe i mean???
And what are the benefits of Linux + GDX ?
..
your answers are gonna be the reason 2 either install the Rom Or not :/
So please HELP?
I did like this :
1.FULL wipe
2.flash gingerdx v017
3.flash linuxdx
And everything is good Is it safe? If you did everything all right its safe now with latest gdx with latest linuxdx i have=NO LAG AT ALL, EVEN WITH MANY APPS INSTALLED AND LOW RAM! ! i really easily recommend it to you
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
If you read carefully GingerDX v014+ requires CWM for install it, for v013- versions you can install with xRecovery.
And GingerDX is safe, little bugs in some versions but with solution in almost all.
In my opinion the battery drain is the most important issue, with the Governor in ONDEMAND my battery drains just in the night 20%, that's a lot. Now, with Smartass, the battery drains just 3% over night.
I don't know about the performance with LinuxDX Kernel. I can't help you with that.
I'm sure that in the respective post you can get more information.

Totally wrong order. You should:
1. copy rom to SD
2. flash kernel from PC
3. install rom from X8 recovery
4. full wipe

Guys for the love of God don't Get me confused ..
Just flash the kernel,ater that do afull wipe, and then flash the ROM in CWM-Recovery.
And if it´s not stable, flash stock ROm with stock kernel again and flash ONLY GingerDX without the Kernel.
Dude
while flashing the Linux
it stopped ..
And told me 2 tick the God damn USB debugging !!
DAMN I FORGOT 2 TICK IT BEFORE !!
And the phone now won't Go ON..
At ALL !!
it just shakes ..
Then nothin
Am trying 2 Fix it with Sony ericsson update service
But the installation is STUCK!
completely it won't Work..
..
Damn????
you should flash by flashtools .
Or the battery is low.. it happened to me once when flashing my gf's x8. It took a while for me to realise it. Lol. Just a suggestion, based from my experienced.

KERNEL - this you flashing using FlashToll from PC
ROM - zip file that you installing from CWM or xRecovery
Proper order (I assume that bootloader is unlocked already):
1. Make backup of apps using TitaniumBackup then xRecovery or CWM
2. copy new ROM to SD
3. turn on USB debugging
4. disconnect USB cable
5. shut down phone
6. run FlashTool and press "flash"
7. press and hold "back" button in phone and plug in USB
8. wait for flash is done ("flash complete ... disconnect ...")
9. disconnect USB
10. turn on phone and start tapping screen to enter CWM
11. using CWM menu install custom zip
12. do full wipe
13. reboot
14. wait.... it can take up to 5 mins
15. install Titanium and restore apps
If it will not run you just flash back stock kernel, then seus for stock rom, root it, install xrecovery or cwm and restore backup.

First root your phone with flashtol*latest is the best.
Then download busybox.apk it-s installer for busybox. Install busy box using file manager. Then download E15i xrecovery installer.apk. and install them using file manager. You must to accept superuser notification to install busybox and xrecovery. You will get SUPERUSER ON PHONE AFTER ROOT!
Whoa if you want to install gxp 23 you will need unlocked bootloader and alfs kernel and this is a risky procedure.also v23 has some bugs.. I recommend that you install Gingerxperia v22 which works with stock kernel (you first need to root, install busybox and xrecovery like the others said) remember, before installing a new rom make sure you create backup of your current one, in case sth goes wrong...

WiFi problem
Morning all
I woke up today to find that my wifi is no longer working.....
If I factory reset, then wifi works fine. The only problem is then I loose all my settings & apps, & Android Market is not working, prob because it has up graded to Google Play now.
Has anyone else had this problem or is there a fix somewhere......
Hi!
I had a problem with my smart (if you call me, it reboot, something reboot automatically). I was using GingerDX v21 and v22. I downgraded to 2.1 via PC Companion but doesn't works.
So, I decided to use MiniCM7. I followed this tuto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553 and the bootloader unlock tuto too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Well, I did everything correctly, I guess. I see the nAa logo when I turn on my smart and I can enter in CWM-Recovery.
I have installed the MiniCM7-2.1.8-shakira, MiniCM7-2.1.7-shakira, MiniCM7-2.1.6-X8, GingerXperiaRay_V004 and PrimeHD20 but I can't pass of boot (bootlooping).
I don't know if I did something wrong. I had instaled too E15_nAa-09_2.6.29.6-nAa-09 and E15_nAa-06b_2.6.29.6-nAa-06b (first I tried v10). I everytime wipe all data.
If I install the original kernel and rom it works normally. I don't know what I can do. I do the same process three times, wiping all, installing, etc. and nothing!
What I'm doing wrong? There are some possibilities of my smart don't support it?
read this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071 to go back to 2.1...
then root, install xrecovery,unlock bootloader,flash nAa kernel you need ,and then
install MiniCM7...
try this method
1.root
2.unlock bootloader
3.flash nAa v10
4.then your phone will have CWM and flash the rom minicm7.218
5.flash google gapps gb
6.reboot and see it bootloop or not??

is this working?
First of all i would like to thanks all the Developers for their Incredible work on this site. I am using this site for a long time it helped me in solving many issues. I flashed many Custom ROMS on My X8 & X10 never had big issues so there was no need to post just becuase there was already so much of information here. But from last 4 days i am messing with my X8 when i tried flashing Jelly Bean Rom. Previously i was using 2.3.7 in my x8.I cant say i am very good but i am not new to these Roms. I actually searched alot but failed so i am here for help. In order to use Jelly Bean my x8 is having Bootloop issue. I follow all the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789713 regarding Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136211. I follow each guidelines but still Bootloop . Not only that i cant use any other custom rom now everytime bootloop. SESU repair my phone but i cant use 2.1 now after using custom roms in x8 for longtime, It feels pathetic Now i dnt want Jelly Bean in x8 anymore i ll be more than happy if i get 2.3.7 back :angel:
I tried different Roms , Kernels but everytime same result "Bootloop"
Rooting fine, Flashing Kernel fine,, Rom instalation fine. Had doubt regarding Unlocking Bootloader ( Whether its properly unlocked or not). so Flashtool says Its "unlocked" but it also said it cant be "unlocked officially". So i tried another way to with s1 tools from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23680742&postcount=1 and r is smaller too RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A029". Now i am really confuse. tired and fed up 4 days GingerXperia, JellyBread.Jelly Bean everything failed
But i want to add 1 thing which is related to BLU because i cant dial *#*#7378423#*#* service menu from my x8 is that the clue or issue. Plz members help me out. Thanks in Advance.
Please Help

There are some problem that causes custom rom cannot boot. I will state the problem but, you gonna go search it for yourself.
1.Busybox not correctly installed
2.Root incorrectly
3.Baseband incompatible
4.Rom need custom kernel to work (Extra care.)

Im guessing your coming from stock ,, so heres what you gotta do
if you bought the cell recently you don't need tio update your baseband,,
anyways heres what you must do
1. Root your phone
2.install xrecovery /Cwm
3.Move your desired rom to you memory cards,, not on any folder directly on the card
4. reboot and open xrecovery/Cwm(whichever the rom requires)
5.Data reset
6.Flash rom
anyways some roms require custom kernels in that case learn howto unlock your bootloader and flash the required custom kernel
and your good to go

-use flashtool
Okay now,
-root your phone(turn on usb debugging. don't remove usb yet)
-install busybox (don't remove usb yet)
-reboot your phone, if flash tool on PC showing busybox version : XXX XXX or whatever you are good to go if not, redo, (Problem in flashtool, driver or usb debugging not turned on)
-install xRecovery
-continue on Post by AbirXtreme ~
Note: when busybox showing version, there's is no need to use seus to go back again. you may just pull out the battery(with usb unplugged), wait for 10 sec and turn on again. Experiment with installing xRecovery on phone boot-up and try again without using seus... and if you stuck on the sony ericsson logo, wait... then try lock your screen. if screen can be locked (turn dark) mean that your root+busybox are good but xRecovery are not, just try many times to get to it.... and if all those above is not working... search other dev or thread

ah, sorry to my previous post.... i wasn't read it carefully....
now that you can enter xRecovery/Cwm is good
now what you need is,
1. check the rom post for more info, if it says for custom kernel/alfs kernel/nAa kernel. Sorry you can't use this as your rom.(unlocking your bootloader will fix this issue. WARNING:It's dangerous, search )
2. Try flash my Fix for stock kernel and Fix for low performance at my post in dev section
3. Try full-wipe in every rom if you still have this problem
4. Cannot help your further
A little stupid hint...
Are you sure you are stuck at se logo? I mean, have you wait enough? Sometimes it gets up to 5 min to start and especially first time...

Do not Full wipe after installing ROM
Always full wipe before installing, not after....I hope this helps
Change Your Baseband! if Your Baseband finish in .......06
you need change it to ............15
Check your baseband in Settings/about phone
I Haved This problem and I Solve it Changing My Baseband! xD
so as mine can any one know how to upgrade 11W42
it is probably the fact you need custom kernel. But before trying to unlock bootloader, turn phone off,, take back cover and battery off and check your phones date ie
10w56 or 11w34 etc

Not in some cases. Some DEVS put when to do full wipe. So it depends on what the installation instructions are

Hello, im helping a friend root he's phone.
He is stuck at the "Sony Ericson screen"
This is what we have done so far:
- install superuser/bussybox
- Custom recovery (CWM)
He then went into CWM and clicked:
- backup nandroid
- delete dalvik cache
- reset factory
- install zip from sdcard: Presto ... install it...... . .. . .
- Restart phone.
it gave me an error "bad restore can't restart" then It automaticly jumped to another submenu "no" "-yes -- restore CWN" underneath a warning: may not able to access the restore" I clicked yes and it restarted but never got further then booting

have u tried to use SEUS?
we fixed it.
I dont have this phone, so I didnt know you needed to have custom kernel and unlocked baseband.
How can I get the:
1. Latest baseband
2. Unlocked bootloader
to unlock the bootloader you have to check This
for latest baseband update the phone with Update Service

Thank you.
Where can I find this kernels
nAa AND ALFS KERNEL ?
or do they come with the ROM and automatically flash?
you can find in one of the Development Thread, you have to flash it first with flashtool then you can flash the ROM via CWM..
U means u didn't install X recovery.... If u install cwm its possible u having this problem... Cwm only work on stock rom.... Use flash tool and repair.. Install X recovery....i installed it too.. I got the same before, though it was on that Site.. This will work on stock rom
